Ahh, it goes by so quick! And sometimes that is good and sometimes that is not.
The holiday went pretty well. My mother is a mess! She needs to get her hip replaced but can't get in until the end of February. It is painful to watch her suffering..and she really is suffering.
I got some very nice things. A garnet necklace and a natural light lamp for doing bead work (I really like it...I want to fill my house with those lamps). A book about the Vietnam War and the student protests and UW-Madison (I vaguely remember that going on when I was a kid).
Due to sleeping arrangments, Billy Bones the Pirate Dog slept in our room for two nights. Never again! Geez! He's worse than The Curmudgeon. He started out sleeping on the chair but sometime during the night would come over and crawl into bed. I was smooshed. Not like there wasn't another whole half of the bed he could have slept in (The Curmudgeon sleeps on my side of the bed). And then, this morning, I woke up at 5 (no dog, just woke up).
A friend was supposed to come visit today and tomorrow. She called last night at 9:30 to cancel. I'm a little bummed about that, but maybe I'll paint the hallway instead. I really should go lift some weights since I haven't in .... weeks?
